Wouldn't ever think of doing anything else. I also let my disappointment for what the US government is doing with the finances make it seem like I don't love this country. I really, really do. And nothing makes that more apparent than when you realize how bad others have it. At about 4 AM yesterday while I was waiting for a DC update I went over to USPTO to register a trademark. I did it on my own, in about 20 minutes or so. That's all it took, and it will be done within three months according to the current backlog. Compare that to our neighbors to the north, who I am sure have far less volume than USPTO, who will not be considering granting me access to the Blackberry program for 4+ months, if that. Then, in the afternoon, while I was filling out paperwork to export systems to UK and Australia I had the lovely time learning all about these broken countries and their rules. Did you know that in order to ship a used system you had to fill out 5 pages of documentation, triple copy, of the contents because Australia has quarantine rules. I kid you not. Anyhow, god bless IT and god bless America. -Vlad Rob,
